US Politics, June 2018: This is a total goat rodeo.

i'm gonna arm myself like one of those Red Dawn kids

so deNiro said "f Trump" twice on the Tonys last night. Odds that there will be a response tweet?

inevitable

lmao Trump wants out of Singapore as soon as possible

this whole thing is just gonna be a dumb photo op isn't it

it depends what the "touch and feel" tell him

pros: it's a business-friendly police state
cons: full of foreigners

The root of Trump's tendency toward isolationism is that every country is weirdly full of foreigners. Where are all the Americans, Singapore? Sad!

what the fucking fuck at everything in that article

Lartey, 54, and Young, 48, were career government officials who worked together in records management until this spring, when both were abruptly terminated from their jobs. Both are now unemployed and still full of questions about why they were stripped of their badges with no explanation and marched off of the White House grounds by Secret Service.

Irene Porada, the head of human resources who personally terminated both men, did not respond to an email requesting comment. A White House spokesman also did not respond to a request for comment about the terminations.

lmao they're literally throwing him a birthday party to keep him happy

nothing but respect for my president piss baby

Don't Russia and China also have huge stockpiles of gold (xpost to that devaluing the USD).

the biggest country that can tank the USD imo is the Saudis. they've been propping it up using it as the currency for oil deals since the 70s. also assume china could fuck us hard if they stop buying our bonds. (almost typo'd to 'bongs')

please god rudy just do as he asks i'm begging you

Mr. Giuliani: my client deserves an apology for your sexist, disgusting, comments about her and women in general. I strongly suggest you provide one. Are you really taking the position that you have not viewed porn in the last year? Ever hear of something called an IP address?...

Another Huntsman briefly inspires hope and then immediately dashes it.

I will be first in line to purchase Avenatti's book, Baiting Deadfalls for Dummies (To Fall Into) (Over and Over Again).

BREAKING: Trump administration will stop granting asylum to victims of domestic abuse and gang violence. Tens of thousands impacted. Story coming shortly.

— Evan Halper (@evanhalper) June 11, 2018

Instead of asylum they'll be given guns and sent back home to take care of business.

^ awesome action movie premise, tbf

kind of lol but mostly i wanna die now

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free and tell them to f-off I'm going golfing.”

Hope this is just the start of sudden heart attacks in this administration

The fact that I am having a meeting is a major loss for the U.S., say the haters & losers. We have our hostages, testing, research and all missle launches have stoped, and these pundits, who have called me wrong from the beginning, have nothing else they can say! We will be fine!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 11, 2018

Who is saying having the meeting is a major loss? WTF does that even mean!?

'stoped'?

Larry Kudlow had a heart attack.

all missle launches have stoped

things we have

• hostages
• testing
• research and all missle launches have stoped

all missle launches have stoped! just look in the tunk.

Next?

We will be fine! is the secret crown jewel of that tweet

weird handshake. also kind of odd that trump appeared to say so much to kim during the handshake, since it seems very unclear that he speaks fluent english?

best variant of this joke I've seen

tbh im not hopeful that the warlike backwater shithole country will denuke but maybe kim jong un can talk some sense into trump

weird handshake. also kind of odd that trump appeared to say so much to kim during the handshake, since it seems very unclear that he speaks fluent english?

Maybe he was briefed in advance that if he tried his muscleman squeeze on Kim, a North Korean goon would leap out and chop Trump's hand off at the wrist? And I don't think he ever considers whether the person he's talking to understands English or not.

it seems very unclear that he speaks fluent english?

yeah but kim prob has enough for both of them

Didn't Kim go to college in the UK?

I heard he was educated in Switzerland.

Ah, OK, I just remembered Europe, so I assume some fluency in English.

so what the fuck was the point of all this? was this just a dumb photo op the whole time?

That Dennis Rodman was somehow involved in this whole thing makes me demand a refund on this historical timeline, I want a new one for me and my family.

xp that's my impression

lmao at the Flag Respecters

I wonder if the dairy system in North Korea is fair, unlike say Canada.

this whole thing was ridiculous and content fee, and as expected the press lapped it up and will be reporting on it for days

Kim just wanted to see him in private to tell him he's got the pee tape.

lol

Just now:

"A really fantastic meeting -- a lot of progress. Top of the line. We are going right now for a signing," President Trump just told reporters.

— Jeff Zeleny (@jeffzeleny) June 12, 2018

How very...content free.

Trump gonna sign some trading cards.

happy talk

wow, top of the line, it must be good!
